Now the time has come, | now the moment true. |
Power give the son, | to raise that power to you. |
Raised up to give life | to the given ones; |
on the earth empowered, | where our work is done. |
Image from yourself, | speaking your own word. |
Since the cosmos formed, | it is a gift from you. |
Word you give to me, | word I give to them. |
Faithful I have come; | you they know through me. |
I will plead for them, | those you gave to me. |
They are all still yours, | are mine: yourself in them. |
All whom I was given | I have kept within; |
kept away from ruin | following the word. |
Now I come to you. | I've already gone. |
Holy Father hold | them one as we are one. |
Now before I leave | I still ask one thing: |
Let your fullest joy | grow within their soul. |
I gave them your word. | I gave them your self; |
parted from this world, | the world that I have left. |
Don't take them away | from the earthly ways, |
but from worthlessness | they have now been saved. |
Sanctify their lives | in reality. |
Just as I was sent, | to earth they too are sent. |
I am sanctified | on behalf of them |
so that they may be | sanctified in truth. |
For them here I beg, | not for them alone; |
also those to come, | who hear the word of truth: |
that they live in us, | as you live in me, |
so that they in us | show I come from you. |
So they will be one, | just as we are one. |
You gave self to me, | that self I give to them. |
Them and you and me, | one perfected be; |
so the cosmos knows, | you love them as me. |
Father, those you gave: | I want them with me |
so that they might see | perfect identity, |
so that they may know | that your love for me |
has remained unchanged | since the world was made. |
Upright Father God! | Earth has never known. |
But I know you well; | they know I come from you. |
I have made you known | and I will again. |
Your love lives in them. | In them I will live. |
